Arrivals Departures by The Leisure Society Lyrics

Arrivals and departures sit united in unconsciousness
Old friends become acquaintances in lives never better
We're out of luck and out of time
The mortal coil of modern life has summoned us to start a fire
Or writhe in the gutter in the rain

I notice you now you’re not here, a silence speaks the saddest end
Too late to fill, too late to mend, so I sit and weather
A raging sea without a shore, well maybe I'm not here at all
A phantom life dissolved in thoughts of why, where and whether you were true

We're out of phase, impossible now
Bitter the pill swallowed or sucked dry
Making a maze out of my mind
Now I put aside every letter I write
I wait for the cactus to bloom
I leant away for a minute to save
A final reminder of you
